Can't stop looking at this v odd footballing pic from today's Guardian.

Friend's baby had a bath toy,a clear plastic rattle on a spring with a suction cup to attach if to the bath.I stuck it to my forehead to amuse the bab.She was unimpressed. I pulled it off leaving a large perfectly circular, tender, florid 'love bite' on my forehead. It lasted a good couple of days.

Reposting this because it's a good song. You'll enjoy it. Believe me. It's the first time I've really let rip guitar-wise on one of my uploaded tunes. Oh & my entire back catalogue on Bandcamp is available for £6.83 for 13 tunes. I know. Total bargain. #musicprodsky #musicians #guitar #shred

Can't stop staring at John Martin's frontispiece of the exquisitely titled "Book of the Great Sea Dragons" by Thomas Hawkins.

#Newmusic #CaliIce Sunny 60's inflected pop explodes into a full on heavy #psychedelic #rock freak out. I play guitar on this - quite a lot of notes. Buy it: shorturl.at/gmfwX Watch the mind-bending vid: shorturl.at/BJCAe Available on streaming 26/11/2025 #musicprodsky #psychedelica

This one is demented, brutal, pacy, hilarious. An absolute exploitation classic.

A properly peculiar little flick. Not for everyone, but if you enjoy hallucinatory oneiric horrors, it is definitely recommended. Oh and it ft 80s robot dancers/musicians Tik & Tok & Anna Wing. And a killer yoyo.

True.

Read #TheWhiteCormorant by Frithjof Spalder, a lovely & melancholy nautical tale in @valancourtbooks.bsky.social 's splendid World Horror Stories. Some years ago, I wrote a tune, "The White Cormorant of Tithing": www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN6e... A charming #synchronicity.

#NewnTune Aki: strings + autumn + piano = melancholy The piano programming on this one (sadly I can't play) killed me. Watch/listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbDZ... Buy: shorturl.at/RZ11W #musicprodsky #soundtrack

Thoroughly delighted by @giantclaw.bsky.social 's #DecadentStressChamber. He calls it "free pop" and I'm in. Weird electronica through a pop lens or pop music through a weird electronica lens? I don't care - it sounds sooo good & makes me want to make more music. Listen/buy it here shorturl.at/FSWyv

Can you help? We would love to get in touch with star of 'The Brothers', Malcolm Stoddard? Does anybody out there know Malcolm? Or is able to connect us with him? Please get in touch if you can help. Many thanks.

Re-watched The Brood. Just fantastic - every shot looks amazing plus Oliver Reed & Samantha Eggar smash it. And it's vibe - so bleak. Genuinely unsettling & thoroughly recommended. #horrormovies

Videodrome. A masterpiece. #LongLivetheNewFlesh

We must copy Denmark Social Democrats' hardline anti-asylum measures in order to win back voters' trust, says Shabana Mahmood. Meanwhile in Denmark:

I really, really, really, really didn't vote for this.

Drop something BLACK & WHITE...

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed #kindness & #community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt #WorldKindnessDay

'vulberability' Jeez. Ha, that's what I get from posting from the pub. 'vulnerability' Still a tune/performance and a half.

This is still just so fabulous - power,vulberability,ferocity, beauty. Glorious. #MannequinPussy #LoudBark youtu.be/ffBI5Zj9VDw?...

Absolute banger.

What movie villain is a horrible person, but an absolute joy to watch on screen?

On her birthday, we'd like to remember special effects makeup artist Milicent Patrick who famously designed the Gill Man suit for Universal's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

The skull of Livyatan melvillei, an extinct sperm whale from the Miocene epoch, was roughly 3 meters (10 ft) long and 1.9 meters wide.

Looking forward to this...

Damn good book.

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

Giving this a bump because I am pleased with the atmospheric & brooding tune & eerie vid. Maybe give it a watch and or a repost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdNM... You could go completely crazy & buy it here: klaktononindustries.bandcamp.com/track/martol... #horror #gothic #spooky

This freaked me out a lot as a kid. Looking forward to rewatching. Oh and what a cast...😍

Just saw #TheExorcist at the cinema and I can honestly say that, even at my considerably advanced age, this film still scares me. Like no other. Majestically terrifying.

Might have something #Halloween -y in the pipeline for tomorrow...

Highly recommended. Zesty, gruesome 80s haunted house, supernatural slasher perfection.

RIP June Lockhart. I loved her turn in Troll (1986) in which she appeared with her daughter Anne (pic 2).

Just bought tix to see #TheExorcist at the cinema. Haven't seen it on the big screen since the Scala waaaaay back in the day. V excited.

This is splendid. Well worth your time.

Black Hole on Netflix? Hmmm, my initial reaction was not positive but with Jane "I Saw the TV Glow" Schoenbrun helming..? Could be very interesting.
